A Tale of Two Amazons

How weird is it that Amazon is both a retailer and web services provider? I mean, whoever thought that combining those businesses would be a good idea? I would have expected a separate company that takes the web service technology that Amazon built to serve it’s website and make it available to other companies. Perhaps even make Amazon use that provider too.

But I’m not Jeff Bezos, so maybe that’s why it doesn’t make sense to me.
